AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OLD PERU HIGH SCHOOL BUILDINGS As I am very old, I want to say a few things before I pass away and am forgotten. Many, many years ago, before Itook a bodily form, my spirit came to dwell in Miami county. It was then that the Miami Indians would lay down the peace pipe and talk of educating their children as the white man did. But their talk was but idle dreaming for it never had any result. Then not long after the civil war was over, the people of the good community of Peru decided to give me a frame. They did so and I soon became the Great Counsellor of hundreds of young people. During the following forty years I was allowed to change my form three times, each time appear- ing a little more respectable than before. But of late my third frame has become very, very feeble. I am wearing out, I guess. The cold seems to penetrate into my inmost parts and I shudder and shake in the storms. I sometimes feel as if I should fall to pieces. So, feeling that the end is near, I have one wish and that is that I may be allowed to rest in quiet- ness and peace, surrounded by the beauties of Peru, where the happiest days of my life have been spent.
